Borgonzola is a Canadian cheese with roots firmly planted in Italy. For four generations the Italian Borgo family has been dedicated to making exceptional cheeses, achieving fame first in Italy, then - with Almerigo Borgo's move in the mid 1950's – in Canada. Borgonzola just took 2nd place in the Blue Veined, Exterior Molding category at the 2012 World Championship Cheese Contest – missing 1st place by only one tenth of a point.

As its name implies, Borgonzola accomplishes its blue-green veining with actual Italian Gorgonzola mold that the Borgo family imports from a town outside of Milan. Borgonzola's interior resembles that of a typical blue but this unique cheese is also soft-ripened making Borgonzola the best of two worlds. In every bite, the velvety blue mold paste delivers a gentle zip of sharpness, while the smooth, bloomy rind accounts for Borgonzola's lusciously mild and creamy flavor, reminiscent of Brie.

Very versatile, Borgonzola is a stand-out on the cheese board with crackers, crusty bread, and fruit, but it can also be used in any recipe calling for blue cheese. Borgonzola also makes a delicious pizza or pasta topping, and is a must-try for fans of sweet Gorgonzola, Cambozola, or Blue Castello.

I bought this as an alternative to Blue Castello. It is a good cheese but not as cream or blue laced as Blue Castello.
Blue Castello is my favorite so hard to compare. It is good.

Never again

I usually like every kind of cheese I have ever tasted but, omg this was just absolutely horrible. I could not get past the smell of it. It is not your usual stinky cheese smell, which I love! This was not a good try whatsoever. I saw the reviews on this cheese and almost everyone loved it, I don't understand why. Made me nauseous just smelling it around me. Maybe I got a bad batch? Don't think so.

Brie with a zesty flavor.

Not too strong can be easily ate at any time of the day. I personally preferred the ROQUEFORT, but not for everyone.

Creamy good blue

I really like this cheese. It's creamy and tasty without being salty or overbearing. Each bite leaves you wanting another. I like this cheese as much as I like the Cambozola .

Creamy blue!

For simple wine and cheese combos, we love this cheese. If you enjoy Cambozola, you'll enjoy it straight; if your preference is Gorgonzola (which we find more crumbly) it works similarly if not as crumbly, but toasts nicely on fresh baguette slices after which it's drizzled with honey. We actually forgot about fixing dinner that night!

This is a very mild soft blue. It was not very flavorful; consistency was nothing to rave about. I was expecting something outstanding, but this was just average. Will not order again. Next time I'll buy Saga at the grocery store.
